Wow it is hard to believe this thread was started back in March of '06

lots of fun to read through for me anyway...... might have to buy a printer and put it all in a folder like BillyMac did years ago so when they lock me away in the rubber room i'll have something to read

Derek now that you have mastered the art of turning on the win light more often than not it is time to step up into the $$$$$$ paying classes to build up the account

Congrats again guys and save me a spot on the floor in Indy

Yakked with Don the driver this mornin' regarding their plans for 2010 season,kind-A-sad to hear the little Olds that could/did is being retired but a fresh 355 chevy is going in

not sure how many laps the olds motor made over the last decade but it was a bunch...... will try to get over there this season
